I remember having troubles doing ctr-C on mounts which I knew were going to time out, and I was told that you couldn't kill it while it was inside a kernel call or something to that effect. Of course, I would thing that mount is going to get tied up in kernel stuff much more often than something like javadoc, so I really don't know if it's the same sort of problem.
